About Thumper

Thumper is a young and spirited dog with a medium energy level, perfect for someone who enjoys moderated exercise followed by some relaxation time together. He's working on his leash skills, sometimes getting nervous and needing encouragement, so patience is key. Treats and positive reinforcement are his love language. Thumper thrives in the company of his human friends and has previously lived with other dogs, as he's here with his sister Bambi. It's wise to arrange a meet-and-greet with any potential furry pals at home beforehand. Thumper has shown a sneaky habit of trying to escape through doors or fences, so outdoor supervision is essential. While he can be vocal, he also brings a cuddly, playful spirit once he's settled in. He doesn't yet know tricks, but that’s a great bonding opportunity for you both. The shelter describes Thumper as a little love bug eager to bloom in the right forever home.
